There appears to be an error in the version of LS.EXE for use at a
Windows MS-DOS prompt.
Tested on 2 machines running Win98 SE, both on local and Netware
drives.
The -d or --directory option does not seem to work recursively.
Thus, on a machine with many subdirectories, LS -dR C:\
(or -d -R or --directory -R)
produces the output
C:\
only.
Usage: C:\CD\TOOLS\UNIX\LS.EXE [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Report bugs to address@hidden
ls (GNU fileutils) 3.16
-rwxrwxrwx 1 user 57856 Thu Nov 11 00:00:00 1999 ls.exe
By the way, it would be useful for DOS/Win versions not to report the
number of users via a command-line switch. Of course, this may be
considered an undesirable modification to a platform-independent
tool.
As somebody commented when I reported a very blatant error in the
MS-DOS version of another utility that hadn't been picked up, maybe
nobody is using these tools in DOS/Win?
Best wishes,
